What can I do with yucca?
I ate yucca once in Panama in the last century, I think it was fried, and maybe
the actual flavor came from the grease it was fried in, I dunno... Another time I ate raw yucca flowers. They taste fishy like tuna... I bought a can of "Yuca Entera" at the 99 Cents Only Store today... The label says that the yucca has been already been boiled, and that I can french fry the yucca after sprinkling it with lime juice... What else can I do with yucca? Adventurous gourmands want to know... # * 0 * # ^ |

Search for "arepas de yuca" and you'll find some recipes. Or search "yucca patties."

Or search >>"yucca >>patties." > > Thanks, Peter. I found two recipes: There's also a great Filipino "dessert" made with cassava called bibingka. I didn't mention it since it's from Asia, but maybe you'd be interested. (I also forgot that yucca=cassava.) Here's one recipe, but there are lots of others out there. I've never made it myself. http://www.jsonline.com/entree/cooki...p?format=print In Veracruz, Mexico last summer, I got something very similar at my favorite bakery--a moist, slightly sweet square of what seemed like cassava. They called it "budín." I just did a google search though, and it doesn't seem like they have that in Mexico. They do have "budín de pan," which I guess would translate to "bread pudding," so maybe that is what I got. This cute young girl was working there at the time, and I asked her what it was made of, and she made a face and said she didn't know, adding "No me gusta." Haha. But my search also revealed that a regional version of cassava bibingka in the Philippines goes by the name of budin! Wow, had no idea. Looks like a good recipe (first link below). There are also Central American budines made with cassava, but they're not sweet. It does give you something to do with yucca instead of frying though. The second link is to a Guatemalan recipe of cassava budín. http://tinyurl.com/54qe5 http://expedition.bensenville.lib.il...udindeYuca.htm Peter |
